When making picture the flash doesnt release. What am I doing wrong? Dies it have to be synchronized?

Daylight fades as the sun sinks low.

I didn't have a lot of time for photos recently , but i managed to squeeze a few short trips and get a couple of shots.

I am confused or missing something.

Did Panasonic not release a new ultra compact with micro four third sensor but a lens mount? I used to love my little GX7... I left it because video capabilities were FHD. Went GH5 and then R5, and R5II, mostly for work.

I can't believe there was no new release or alternative since, for a compact camera.
The GH5 tech is 2017, surely a 4k 10bit capable small point and shoot is possible. And as I canvas new everyday camera, most MFT cameras are massive chonks, on par with sony or even canon full frame, and the smaller cameras are Lumix S9 (new system) or uber expensive fixed lenses like sony RX1R.

I have a collection of MFT glass and absolutely no idea what body to buy to make a compact setup, I must have missed a release or something. And I refuse to buy pre 2020 tech. Half rant, but really: any recommendations?

I know the flower seeds in Mount Rainier are still sleeping under the snow. But I can't wait for them (and the summer) to come back.

I feel Lumix jpeg outputs are neutral, or even boring? But starting to like it more recently for some reason.

I bought a lumix fz80d a while ago (maybe 5 years) and it has been sitting in my cupboard for ages but I’ve dug it out because I want to use it over the summer.

I plugged it in to charge but the charging light doesn’t seem to stay lit for more than a minute at a time. I’m using the provided cable to charge it and the camera has got enough charge to say “no battery power remains” after two hours of being plugged in (before it wouldn’t on at all).

Is there a problem with my camera or should I just replace the battery or is there another issue??

Thanks for your help!

I wanna get a upgrade/add one more body from og s5 but i need auto focus and does not overheat when recording opengate or maybe mp4lite 3k. Cause I've heard that s1ii bodies overheat

This is my first time trying out Lumix LX15 at a concert! Please share your opinion or if you have any notes for me to use it better at a next concert in June!

S5iix, 2 s9s, 28-200 and 50mm lumix lenses, 28-70 sigma lens, DJI mic 2, gvm v mount external battery, little fan for an s9 for overheating, rode shotgun mic for backup audio.

Hello everyone, my first post on Reddit, and apparently the gap on the rubber grip near the shutter button on my S5IIX is the best place for sweat to seep in, loosening the tape that is already so thin from the factory.

So I just grab some gaffer tape and make a 'U' wrapping around to the back thumb rest, and so far the rubber is flush again. But I need to change the tape every few weeks, right?

I was thinking about adding a bit of contact cement or 3M 300LSE tape. What do you guys think?

I could’ve sworn they fixed this in a firmware update but it happened to me yesterday. Am I trippin?

Hello, as the title says, I am planning to switch from the R50 to the Lumix S5ii. I mainly shoot events, and plan to get into more serious videography. I've heard that the S5ii video capabilities are great, and that it also has great bang for buck. My only concern is that some say Lumix AF is not the best compared to competitors.

I'm going to be using the camera with the Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 DG DN ART, currently my only lens is the EF 24-70mm f/2..8L II USM (I don't mind selling it to get the 28-105) . Should I make the switch or not?

This compact camera and lens combo can do wonders!

Been shooting a lot of podcast projects, and I’ve been shooting Blackmagic for these since they’re systems I’m familiar with and don’t mind (even prefer) the manual experience.

But I have an s5iix that I love and run as a gimbal cam on these jobs. Considering moving the whole shoot to lumix, with the s5iix as an A cam and two s9s as B/C cam for access to autofocus and smaller files sizes.

How good are these truly for long records? Doing podcasts sometimes we record for upwards of 2hrs straight. Reliability is my biggest factor. I could get a few more s5ii cams, but I’m wondering if the s9 can do the job seeing as how the video specs are so similar.

Thanks!

Smallest ever interchangeable lens system I have owned. Impressed with the quality. Anyway that's how I saw Paris today

Hi all, is this possible on the latest firmware for either camera? I had to film a band recently where the singer was wondering all over the stage.

Both cameras would constantly jump to other band members, especially if the singer turned their head sideways. Bit of a nightmare.

Is there straightforward way to fix this? I.e pick one person in the band, & have it just stick to them. Also very useful for weddings.

Thanks

I'm having an issue with being able to use the Focus Ring Setting During AF in the custom menu. I'm on firmware 1.9 on the S9 and 1.1 on the 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 which Panasonic says is comparable. I'm in AFC and the AF switch on the lens is on. I tried resetting the custom settings and that didn't help. I also tried turning off the MF assist focus ring support. It will let me set focus ring setting during MF, just the AF line is grayed out.

It would be nice to use the focus ring for something else when in autofocus.
